Muscle spasm in trapazoid area of my back

@ksdm These muscle spasms are such an insult and so painful! I have found Baclofen to be very helpful, but lidocaine nerve blocks have provided the best relief, through my pain clinic.
The hunt for the 'treatment that works ' is a long and frustrating one; and treatment is an individualized plan. Hot packs bring relief to many, but I find ice packs the best pick.
I hope you will get a suggestion that will bring you much needed help.

I am on the Baclofen too. It worked great initially, then nothing. MFR (section here on that) is great. Botox is great. I am working on a diagnosis of spasticity, which means it is a nerve being impinged and causing the spasm due to several whiplash occurrences that permanently (it seems) ruined my neck, plus my round shoulders and career in art. Knowing that this is "permanent" puts a different long-term spin on trying to repair it, like somehow it is a simple massage or lifestyle fix. I even had a HUGE surgery and it did not repair it. That was quite a disappointment, let me tell ya!
